Anyone get dinged for having an iPad going through security?

I know you can hold devices out in front of you but I'd prefer not to with an ipad. On our arrival day I do not anticipate our room being ready before we hit the park. I do not want to leave my ipad in my luggage. I'll carry it in my park backpack.

I'm hoping I do not have to get searched because of it. My Osprey bag has a ton of tiny pockets and they have to check every single one. I know because a cheap metal mint tin set off the detector before.

I have to go thru bag search at the parks if I have my laptop with me. Not sure how it'd go with an iPad.

If you're not sure, just pull it out before going through security and hold it out in front of you. As long as nothing else sets things off you'll be fine. If it does set it off, they won't stop you as they can see it in your hand.

Will you drop your bags at the resort? If yes, each resort has a secure baggage storage area or if you really want it secured they have a Safe with deposit type boxes.

However I agree with @leebee & @scrappinginontario just take it out carry it like a book until you actually need to pass through the scanner station, and then hold it out in front of you for the seconds you need to be scanned.
